Pomegranate Pear Jam

12.28.10

Gift festivities are over?
No. It can't be.
I hope everyone had a terrifically delicious Christmas with your families!

This year I spent Christmas time with the in-laws as usual. However, we had an additional member at the slumber party this year. She's 9 months old. Yes, it's my niece in-law named Cora Ann. She's such a doll and she brings lots of joy to the family.

We can't get enough of her.

Cora had the most presents this year. She beat everyone! It was really funny to watch her as she was enjoying the gift wrapping paper more than her gifts. The best thing is she knows when to pose for the camera!

Posed for the camera

This year we had SO many gifts under the Christmas tree at the in-law's. We all were surprised. Even Bella, she had 4 gifts! We took turns opening them which took us a while to finish for everyone.

Other than making hors d'oeuvres for Keith's uncle's (I will share on my next post), I made jam in advance for Christmas and New Year gifts for my friends. I have to say it's a fancy jam! It has pomegranate juice & seeds, pears, rosemary, and rose wine in it. Thanks to Pom Wonderful for sending me the juice a while back, which I just started getting my hands dirty with it. Pomegranate and pears are in season so they are easy to access. This is my first attempt at making jam and I am happy about it. Just like other stuff, homemade food always makes you proud of yourself. :)

Tanantha, your niece is so precious! I miss the 9 months stage. It's too funny how curious they are with EVERYTHING. I once thought, why do I bother buying gifts, I should just give them wrapped boxes as my kids enjoyed those more than the gift itself...haha. I'm glad you were able to enjoy the holidays with your in-laws.

Your jam sounds wonderful. I love the combination of pomegranate and pears. I see you also used white Zinfandel, one of my preferred wines - good choice :-PHope you have a happy new year full of joy and wonderful food adventures!

Sounds like it was a truly beautiful Christmas with your loved ones! Cora Ann is such a little sweetheart...having kids around at Christmas just makes the holiday that much better, doesn't it? The jam sounds fantastic and I think rosemary is an especially lovely addition. Happy (almost) New Year to you and yours! :)

Cora is adorable! I'm glad you had a great Christmas, and I generally think homemade/handmade gifts are the most special :) That jam sounds lovely and I'm glad your first jam-making efforts were successful! Happy New Year!
